OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Thanks Jacqueline! He should be on leave from grad until Dec. 26 when he's scheduled to start heading to Italy. I'll let him know. After A school grad was crazy. They let him know at Friday morning muster he was officially on leave. Same day ticket to come home was very expensive.

Once they graduate FMTB are they free to go and does their leave start right then. I know it may depend on their orders. I'd like to have J schedule his flight if he can so that he doesn't get stuck with a $400 one way ticket like he did after A School grad.

Thank you, everyone! I can breathe easier now. Funny how I panic when I don't have communication with him! We did have a 35 min. phone call yesterday. He really seems to be loving it!

Go to MY PAGE at the top
Your profile picture has a little 'CHANGE PHOTO" at the bottom of the picture.
Hit the browse button and find your new photo. Sometimes it's easier to save the new picture to your desktop to find it easy without having to go to a folder.
After you select the photo, hit save at the bottom of the page. It may take a minute depending on speed of internet and computer.
Hope this helps! J called again last night. Short week next week because of the holiday but then they're going camping again for a little longer.

Chief, did you send your cub his box with the Military boxes?! If not you order them from the USPS, they come by mail to you they send you 2lg 2med 2sm and they are a flat rate military forms are required. That is really nice for that sailor to respond to your kindness...I'm happy it made your day, everybody needs to feel special on both ends!!

I know T said that the water that heated up their food sent off the the most nasty smell. lol T was one of those Corpsman that got chewed out something about a gas mask not sealed correctly; he said it was his turn to get chewed out and didn't take it personally. If it were me I would have fell apart right there and sobbed. lol

Glad to hear everyone is getting calls! J is studying hard today for the next test. I could literally sit and listen to him talk for hours!! Except when the person comes over the intercom in the barracks and J starts getting ticked because he can't talk. LOL - I keep telling him temper, temper. He did something in the field that made me so proud. Apparently one of the other guys did something wrong and they (in J's words) got beat. J actually stood up for him. It's a team effort no matter what he told his Platoon and stood by the guy. He's grown up so much.
